I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at GE in Jan 2016
Interview
Applied online, process took 2 months. first did online talent test and after that was invited to do and online interview.
In online test there were 4 parts, mainly bihevioral question. Situations were based on how would you cope with your co workers or how would you talk with you director about projects and stuff. Also, the online interview was a bit stressful so i would suggest candidates to prepare for an online presence and ticking a clock.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at GE (Whitby, ON) in Jan 2016
Interview
Video interview. Less than a minute to see the question then the camera started recording. You don't see anything but yourself being recorded. Rather nerve wracking. No chance of asking any questions because you were not being watched at the time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you initiated a change in an organization
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at GE (San Ramon, CA) in Dec 2015
Interview
Applied online and 6 weeks later received email from recruiter to setup a phone screen.
After speaking with recruiter for 30 minutes, a second phone screen was setup for technical.
Passed technical and was invited to their San Ramon campus for afternoon interviews with 8.
Arrived on time to their office and greeted by recruiter who was polite throughout day.
After that things went downhill:
1) Wasted 30 minutes trying to find an interview room. We found a narrow passageway
what could have been a janitorial storage room.
2) The dry erase markers were near empty and the white board was filthy from past interviews.
3) The workers walking past looked stressed out.
4) Spoke with only 1 Caucasian engineer, everyone else was foreign born and likely H1B visas.
5) Managers and Directors were all rude and condescending. What did I do wrong?
6) Their tech guy started asking me questions on a project I did only once.
7) Their tech guy never asked me about my 10 years of platform experience.
8) Insinuated I did not know how to code and I had to correct employee in my defense.
Overall, a big waste of a great Sunny day better spent interviewing a common sense employer.
What amazes me is I know more about GE business than interviewers who only know how to talk.
